Netflix 2014 – Domestic Dominance, International Escalation

Summary

When Netflix first launched in 1998 as an innovative DVD-by-mail subscription service, it would have been difficult to imagine where it would be 15 years later. During the first half of 2013, Netflix passed HBO to become the largest premium TV/movie subscription service in the United States with 30 million streaming-only subscribers, and today enjoys a rapidly growing international streaming business.

This is made more remarkable by the fact Netflix’s Internet streaming service was introduced just seven years ago, in 2007.
